Mark 10:7 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 10:7

For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother
The Persic version adds, "and brethren and sisters", though without any foundation in the original text, in ( Genesis 2:24 ) , from whence this passage is cited; or in any copy of the evangelist:

and cleave to his wife; (See Gill on Matthew 19:5).

Mark 10:7 In-Context

5 "It was in consideration of your stubborn hearts," said Jesus, "that Moses enacted this law for you;

6 but from the beginning of the creation the rule was, `Male and female did God make them.

7 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to his wife,

8 and the two shall be one'; so that they are two no longer, but `one.'

9 What, therefore, God has joined together let not man separate."
